I've always thought SMRPG Mario would fit oddly well as a FFT sprite.

Finish that one up someday.

Yes, I mean only Odin, without his horse. Also look at horses legs, they are quite funky if you ask me, but I dunno if you will fix it.

I'd understand if you found these skills to be "Odd" but I'm trying to stay as far away from vanilla FFT as I can.

You should at least try doing ports for these

You can pick between the two, this isn't two separate classes, but more of a...separation of class. Feel free to change them or remove things however you wish. These are just suggestions after all

I tried that. My emulator says it "cannot read .cue file"

Just out of curiosity, are these going to be different sprites/recolours with different skill sets or the same sprite with different skill sets? Like using a green Link for the Ancient Tools, White for the musician and Yellow for the adventurer? Or Cloud's A.Children sprite, FFT sprite, and a new/changed one?

Also, are the materia going to be actual items? You could always make them items, and then require Cloud to equip them to be able to use his skills, like his Materia Blade in Vanilla. I think different equipment for the different classes would be cool too. Like Warrior Link can use Bows/KnightSwords and Heavy armour, the Adventurer can use Swords/Crossbows and Light armours, and the musician can use robes and.... instruments?

Okay, cool. Just wonderin It looks like you guys are doing a fantastic job; keep it up, I'm excited to try this out.

Elementalist- FFTA route?
Low Damage, Debuffs, medium MP cost, fast cast, and a sub-par melee

Wind Slash - 10 MP
"A quick lash of wind to send opponents Flying"
Causes - Float/Knockback(?)

or

Elementalist - Apprentice
Medium MP costs, medium speeds, medium damage, and a decent melee

Wind Crush - 10MP
"Traps a foe between two large blasts of wind, suffocating the foe."
(No Debuff/Effect)

I can come up with a skill set if you decide you'd want to go with either one. It won't be a straight rip from FFTA either lol

Ever play any of the Ogre Battle games?

I don't want to start a new thread for what is a very short question, so thought I might as well place it here.

In the original PSX version, there are 12 special characters, including Ramza? Or 12 in addition to Ramza? Because I've seen both 12 and 13 mentioned online.

I am asking because I need to know whether I have 3 or 4 spots left for generics and monsters, before I start the game, so I can plan things out accordingly.

(I know I could find my answer in one of the FAQs but not having finished the game yet, I don't want to spoil myself and read about all the special chars)
